Day's of '47

Taylor and I decided we were due for a date night. So instead of the routine dinner and movie, I suggested we head to the Days of ’47 Rodeo. We even dressed for the date with boots and buckles. We grabbed a quick bite to eat and found our way to our seats. We watched mutton busting as well as the first few bull riders before we started getting several texts and phone calls from home saying a huge microburst storm came through and our house was flooding. We quickly left our date and headed home only to find several neighborhood families, 2 firetrucks and ambulance waiting for us. Grandma called the fire department hoping they would have a pump. We ended up removing the water ourselves with buckets. Some sweet neighbors were inside cleaning up all the mud that had seeped in, but luckily we do not have carpet downstairs and it cleaned up easily. Taylor’s next item on his “To-Do List” is put a sump pump in the window well. We were very fortunate it wasn’t worse and grateful to have such an amazing community. We made cookies for the fire station the next day and let them know we appreciated them.
